The New York Giants have requested approval from the NFL’s finance committee for ownership transactions involving the Tisch family, according to a memo obtained by The Athletic.
However, the ownership transfer may not signal a substantive change in the team's operation.

New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch downplayed his link with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, but a comprehensive review of their emails by @TheAthletic reveals a different dynamic.
"We were talking very fondly about you," Tisch wrote Epstein.

From @TheAthletic: Emails between Jeffrey Epstein and New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch stand out for how singularly they focused on Epstein’s ability to connect Tisch with young women. There was scant talk about philanthropy or business opportunities. nyti.ms/4rQqfcH

Carson Kessler retweeted
From @TheAthletic: As more and more athletes use social media to chronicle their lives, strangers have become dangerously obsessed. Many stalking cases go unreported. But even a partial list indicates an alarming pattern. nyti.ms/4m7rt0B

When Kate Koval arrived at the gym for her game, almost 12 hours had passed since she had heard from her parents.
They lived near the center of Kyiv, and on the morning of Feb. 24, 2022, Russia had invaded Ukraine.
This is her story.

Cancelling a @washingtonpost subscription - meaning you were thoughtful enough to have one in the first place - hurts only the few people still working to hold power to account. Please reconsider (and ignore the snark that inevitably appears below posts like this) #whyisubscribe
Carson Kessler retweeted
I subscribe to the @washingtonpost to read deep investigations from its hardworking, independent reporters.
From @myhlee who expertly covers the Koreas, to the incredible team that produced this chilling examination of the AR-15 rifle. #whyisubscribe

I wouldn’t even think of canceling my subscription to @washingtonpost, where I started my career as a clerk. What’s going on with the owner has nothing to do with the excellent work of its reporters. #WhyISubscribe
Carson Kessler retweeted
I subscribe to the @washingtonpost because more than 50 years after Watergate, it still produces incredible investigative reporting, like its coverage of January 6, explained here by Rosalind Helderman #whyisubscribe washingtonpost.com/video/pol…
Carson Kessler retweeted
I subscribe to the @washingtonpost because I know and trust many Post journalists, having worked there before joining the NYT. They fearlessly hold power to account, including in some cases their own bosses, and they deserve your support. #whyisubscribe

I subscribe to the @washingtonpost because @CAKitchener covers the abortion wars with illuminating, heartfelt, nuance-and-mess-of-real-life reporting. #whyisubscribe washingtonpost.com/politics/…
Carson Kessler retweeted
I get the anger over the @washingtonpost owner’s decision not to endorse. But my subscription is worthwhile just for the work of @CarolLeonnig, who enlightens and inspires me with perfectly executed reporting of the highest difficulty. I subscribe for greatness. #whyIsubscribe
